More From John C. Maxwell

What is a scene? a) a scene starts and ends in one place at one time (the aristotelian unities of time and place-this stuff goes waaaayyyy back). b) a scene starts in one place emotionally and ends in another place emotionally. starts angry, ends embarrassed. starts lovestruck, ends disgusted. c) something happens in a scene, whereby the character cannot go back to the way things were before. make sure to finish a scene before you go on to the next. make something happen.

Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less...titles don't have much value when it comes to leading. true leadership cannot be awarded, appointed, or assigned, it comes only from influence, and that cannot be mandated. it must be earned.
Titles Influence True Leader
We haven't been leading anybody. we've been acquiescing to a bunch of linguini-spined leftists all over the world, at the united nations, in nato, wherever it is. the people who don't even pay for their own defense. the people that don't even believe in guns and bullets to protect yourself are the people we have been acquiescing to. and they think this is called leadership. leadership is sponsoring america's decline. leadership is administering america's decline. leadership is admitting that america's superpower status was never deserved or warranted.

What does labor want? we want more schoolhouses and less jails; more books and less arsenals; more learning and less vice; more leisure and less greed; more justice and less revenge; in fact, more of the opportunities to cultivate our better natures, to make manhood more noble, womanhood more beautiful, and childhood more happy and bright.

Most people think leadership is about being in charge. most people think leadership is about having all the answers and being the most intelligent person or the most qualified person in the room. the irony is that it is the complete opposite. leadership is about empowering others to achieve things they did not think possible. leadership is about pointing in the direction, articulating a vision of the world that does not yet exist. then asking help from others to insure that vision happens.
Intelligent Thinking Opposites
We only gain collectively by acting now. we gain by one day not having to pay a thing for fuel. we gain by having cleaner air, water, and food so that we are healthier and our health care costs come down. we gain by deflating the global fossil fuel markets that drive much of the conflict around the world.

The surgical nurses were right. theo buchanan was gorgeous.. and sexy as hell. but none of that should matter. she was his physician, nothing more, noting less.. his hair was sticking up and he needed a shave, but he was still sexy. there wasn't anything wrong with her noticing that.. unless, of course, he noticed her noticing.

I'm a big rings person...and bracelets...and earrings. i love all of it [laughs]. one time, i was getting off an airplane and i had been traveling for like a month in europe, and i came from the airplane right to my mom's house who i hadn't seen in awhile, and she looked at me and she goes, "is it possible to fit any more jewelry on you? is that actually possible?" and i looked down and, because when i travel i don't like to pack my jewelry so i end up wearing a ton of it, and i had just had everything on me. and i love buying jewelry when i travel - so there was a lot.
